This is a great idea on paper, but when it comes down to putting in action it sorta fails.  Everyone whos a new user will be complaining to lower the post requirement and that its unfair, while CP spammers will just post as fast as they can up to 100 posts then continue to spam CP.

As opposed to the status quo, or the alternative of becoming a tiny shithole of inbred, cloistered autists?

What I don't get is, registration ain't been closed according to the Memberlist. There have been account registrations running all along.

That's because I set it to Admin Approval Only for a short time to let some people in.

To counter the CP and other shit from the losers just limit any account with less than 100 posts from using img and other features which can be abused. If they are here for the wrong reasons their 1st 100 posts will give clues.

This is actually a very good idea

Agreed. It's a really good idea!

I actually kind of like this. Granted, that would remove my ability to post images until I hit 100 but it would solve that issue. I second this

I think closing the regs was a bad move during the migration. I understand why it was done but it should be opened ASAP so that we can pile as many legit &Z members in here as possible. All the spam accounts will be banned eventually and those responsible will lose interest eventually. For now please open the regs so that the rest of the community can join up.

Also Arnox, side not, I saw this was mentioned but, when we click on a new thread it takes to us the bottom of the last page which is annoying if you haven't read any of a multiple page thread. On Zoklet, it would either take you to the first post if you hadn't read the thread before, or it would autoload you to the first new post in the thread based on where you previously left off. This makes navigating threads so much more convenient.

God damn, that's actually quite clever although I would lower the permissions to 50 or so posts, otherwise I think it could discourage newcomers somewhat from dipping their toes in. Can you advise America on immigration policy?

This is a great idea on paper, but when it comes down to putting in action it sorta fails.  Everyone whos a new user will be complaining to lower the post requirement and that its unfair, while CP spammers will just post as fast as they can up to 100 posts then continue to spam CP.

I like the idea. New users complaining about a paedo-filter is a minor gripe. Rapidly posting 100 low-content shitposts just to earn an image posting privilege would be a good indicator that a user needs watching.

I think this could unnecessarily implicate users like Zok Jr. who post exclusively in trivialities and sentence fragments, but have never outright spammed CP. Still, I don't think we have anything to gain by pandering to that class of poster. Overall I'm sold on this idea.

The spammer is apparently using a bot, so a stronger CAPTCHA and blacklisting disposable email providers would make the attacks significantly more difficult to script. Might want to try something like that before implementing such extreme measures as an image posting lockdown.

The invite system lets you build "branches" of users, so you can cut off the whole, poisonous, branch.

The point isn't exclusivity and new users could join on IRC and ask for a code, we could also give them away on twatter and fagbook.
